ONEAN CARVER Unboxing— Electric Jet board unbiased review Jetsurfingnation
First we have to admit that Mike, founder of Jetsurfing Nation, found a great name for his website 😉 and second that he gives some good tips and overviews of various boards available on the market. What a great feeling to finally get some help giving a wider, better and more practical view of the industry.
Here is his video about the Onean Carver, perfect to complement our dedicated review with Styx Boards ran a few months ago.
ONEAN CARVER : WHAT DO YOU GET IN THE BOX?
A- 1 Carver Board with Jet Unit

C- 1 Battery Charger
D- 1 Wireless Controller

F- 2 Wide Footstraps
G- 1 Leash + 1 Security Key

EXTRA USEFUL GEAR — NOT INCLUDED IN THE BOX
HANDLES
Footstraps are not comfortable for heavier riders as they need to stand closer to the nose of the board to keep their balance and move faster.
However they are recommended for lighter riders as they stand more at the back of the board. In this case they are useful and help the rider to carve nicely.
If you do not use straps, adding two to three extra handles will be helpful to carry the jetboard around.
MARINE GREASE
To use on the metal parts of the board to make them last longer and to lubricate the battery compartment plugs to minimize friction and allow smooth removal of the battery.
MSN tip : What is the difference between marine grease and regular grease?
A marine grease will have an aluminum or calcium based thickener and be much more water resistant than a lithium complex grease.

Helps you carry the board around … unless you are very strong and do not need it 😉
